NOYB publishes Irish DPC's decisions on Meta's legal basis for personalized ads

EU-based advocacy group NOYB published the Irish Data Protection Commission's final decisions invalidating Meta's contract basis for seeking user permission to collect data for personalized advertising on Facebook and Instagram. NOYB said the decisions — which followed complaints the group made in May 2018 on the day the EU General Data Protection Regulation took effect — "clearly shows massive disagreement" between the DPC and the European Data Protection Board. Meanwhile, IAPP Research and Insight Director Joe Jones highlighted key insights from the decisions on Twitter. Editor's note: The IAPP will host a LinkedIn Live Jan. 12 diving into what privacy professionals need to know about the DPC's decisions.
